The Americas File

Tuesday 21th June 2011
Crn 14th SW & I St. Washington DC.


Exchange between myself and a homeless woman while sitting on a park bench.

“You want sex?”
“What?”
“You want sex with a lady?”
“No”
“Got any spare change then?”
“No, sorry”

5 minutes later while I am eating a sandwich, spacing out into the distance, she returns to enquire as to my health and wellbeing.

“You aight?”
{aight, a common colloquial usage of the word alright}

I nod, she continues on her panhandling.
